“Therapy Rats?” Is there such a thing? In this family, there is! Since getting the rats, Caralynn has not been struggling behaviorally. She is calmer, more relaxed, isn’t sensory seeking AS MUCH and her need to “chew” on anything and everything has greatly decreased. She is so much more content and spends lots of time during the day tending to then. Tobias is such an easy going and sweet creature. He has an old soul and genuinely enjoys Caralynn’s company. He trusts her. He will sit with her while she watches a movie or does her summer school work for hours. He will happily sit on her shoulder while she plays and even went on an hour long bike ride last night. Riding on her shoulder as she rode her bike at full speed down the trail hill. We jokingly said he needed his own little helmet then found this one in her my little pony toy bin. Oscar admittedly doesn’t get snuggled as often. We refer to him as “toby’s buddy” because he keeps Toby company when Toby’s in his cage. We love both of these babies and they are fun to have around. They are like little puppies and get excited when they see us. They love getting treats and seem to enjoy all of the attention we give them.
